Category: sanctification

15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

Jesus is not praying to take us out of harm’s way but, to protect us from the demonic powers by the power of the Word of God which transforms us into the image of Jesus Christ. It provides us with strong faith to make our trust in the Lord steadfast.

Remember what happened to Judas Iscariot, how Satan entered him and used him to betray Christ, afterward, Satan convinced him to commit suicide. God’s Word protects us from falling away from Him.

1John 2:14I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

The only way, we get sanctified is by reading and living the Bible. It is the source that God uses to transform us into Jesus’ image. The Bible replaces our character and adds His.

How many so-called Christians have abandoned the Bible? Preachers like Andy Stanley has rejected the Bible as necessary for the Christian-walk. He is deceiving countless believers and I pray that they will leave his church, finding one that preaches to trust in the Scriptures.

Why the attacks on the Bible? Because it is the source from which saving faith comes from.

Romans 10:17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Luke 11:28But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

Matthew 7:24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

Matthew 7:25The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.

The endurance of our faith depends upon our unwavering trust in the Scriptures. If your trust in Scripture cracks, so does your faith in Jesus Christ. You want to see what that looks like? Go read the story of the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:1-6.

Salvation

If you do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ, I encourage you today to do so. Repent and believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and took your punishment upon Himself, was buried and on the third day rose from the grave. If you give your life to Jesus by faith in His sacrifice, He will give you eternal life.

Some religions like Mormonism, Islam, and Catholicism, all claim that they have received new revelation.

A message to all believers in Christ Jesus

The desire of my heart is to reveal Satan’s tactics and how one can overcome his schemes. I want to encourage you to fight the good fight of faith. Putting on the full armor of God, by way of reading the Word of God and praying every day so that you may be strengthened and be transformed into the image of Christ for good works.

A Brief Background

I grew up in a family that to this day still does Santeria (the raw form of Witchcraft). Jesus saved me from becoming one even though I participated as a young child under my mother's authority. As a child, I used to see literally, demons walking in my house and it used to scare the heck out of me. I would write down more of my experience but it would be too long. The desire in my heart is to reveal Satan's tactics and how one can overcome his schemes. I want to encourage you to fight the good fight of faith. Putting on the full armor of God by way of reading the Bible and praying every day so that you may be transformed into the image of Christ for good works. If you haven't made Jesus your Lord and Savior, I pray that you do because there is no other way to make it to heaven as seen in John 14:6 which says, "Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" If you believe that He died for your sins and on the third day He rose from the grave you will be saved. Ask Jesus today, to forgive you of all of your sins and to save you and He will.
